Gebhard Ullmann: Vancouver Concert - Ta Lam Zehn
by Budd Kopman
What a joy it is to listen to and be engulfed by Vancouver Concert - Ta Lam Zehn! Setting aside the music's roots in the stunning Ta Lam (99 Records, 1993) or the group's roots in Ta Lam Acht from Moritat (99 Records, 1994), this live recording's group energy, spark and good humor make it an ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Oct. 1, '98 - The Clarinet Trio
by Budd Kopman
Saying that Oct. 1, '98 is Moritat (99 Records, 1994) meets Trad Corrosion (Nabel, 1997) would not be too far wrong. Nineteen miniatures are fit into fifty-four minutes like the latter album, but using only pure reed sounds like the former. Mixing pure improvisation, a truly wonderful version of “Tea for Two" and new and old ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Trad Corrosion
by Budd Kopman
With nineteen tracks taking up but forty-eight minutes, the tracks that make up Trad Corrosion place a premium on subtlety, conciseness and low volume. Together with bandmates drummer Phil Haynes, who first appeared with Ullmann on Basement Research (Soul Note,1995) and long-time collaborator guitartist Andreas Willers, multi-instrumentalist Gebhard Ullmann has created a work that looks both ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Basement Research
by Budd Kopman
On Basement Research, Berlin-based Gebhard Ullmann combines his unique brand of composition with the pre-existing American trio of saxophonist Ellery Eskelin, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Phil Haynes. The recording is remarkable in that there is no sense whatsoever of Ullmann being grafted on to an admittedly close trio. While it is true that Eskelin and ...

Gebhard Ullmann: Moritat
by Budd Kopman
The outstanding Moritat represents the physical embodiment of everything that multi-reedman Gebhard Ullmann had learned during the creation of the miraculous Ta Lam (99 Records, 1993). The earlier recording was created using overdubbing and, except for the occasional use of accordionist Hans Hassler, Ullmann's conception was realized by himself alone. Enlisting the talents ...
The Frank Kimbrough Trio at The Jazz Standard
by Budd Kopman
Frank Kimbrough Trio at the Jazz StandardThe Jazz StandardNew York, NYWednesday, September 27, 2007 The highest compliment I can think of for the performance that Frank Kimbrough along with bassist John Hebert and drummer Paul Motian gave at The Jazz Standard was that it sounded like a variation on the ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Ta Lam
by Budd Kopman
Tá Lam is one of the highest achievements in composition and recording in the last forty years. Beyond description or label, this music exists out of time, as a monument to the creative impulse in man. Gebhard Ullmann has created a work that is breathtaking in its beauty, and awe-inspiring in its performance. ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Suite Noire
by Budd Kopman
Suite Noire is essentially the last recording of what could be called “early Ullmann," which however, contains some of the seeds that will flower later. Once again partnering with Andreas Willers, multi-reedman Gebhard Ullmann has created an atmospheric and, for the most part, dark work that will surely intrigue. One of the seeds ...
